    @neil: "Using Outlook 2003 with Win XP Pro. Keep getting error 
about invalid addin.
Previously used Win ME & Office 2000 PRO - full 
installation.
Upgrading to Win XP, used 'files & settings transfer 
wizard' to backup all docs & settings, including e-mail 
settings & folders from outlook.
Formatted hard disk, installed Win XP pro from scratch.
Installed Office 2003 Pro. Restored files & settings.
Now get error on starting Outlook 2003.
Can't find sbcmsync.dll  or extend.dat on hard disk.
No mention of sbcmsync in addin manager.
Any suggestions pleas?
Thankyou"
